July 19th - X Sunday after Pentecost

At Vespers yesterday afternoon the antiphons and psalms of Vespers for Saturday (Pss. 143, 144, 145, 146 & 147) were sung. The chapter was O Altitudo and the Office hymn O lux beata Trinitas. After the collect of the Sunday the Suffrages of the BVM Sancta Maria succurre etc, the Apostles Petrus Apostolus etc, of the Patron and lastly for peace Da pacem Domine were sung. At Compline the Dominical preces were sung.

At Mattins the invitatory is Adoremus Dominum and the Office hymn Nocte surgentes. In the first nocturn (Pss. 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 & 14) are sung and the lessons continue to be read from the fourth book of Kings. These are the same as those given in modern editions of the Breviary for the tenth Sunday after Pentecost. In the second nocturn (Pss. 15, 16 & 17) the lessons are from the twenty-fifth homily of St. Chrysostom on the Epistle to the Romans. These are the same as those found in modern recensions except that the fourth lesson includes the sentence Itaque, si quando... perditionis poenas demus that now opens the fifth lesson in modern editions. In the third nocturn (Pss. 18, 19 & 20) the homily is from St. Augustine on St. Luke's Gospel. These are considerably longer in the Tridentine Breviary than the form found in modern editions. The seventh responsory is Peccavi super numerum etc. Te Deum is sung.

At Lauds the Sunday psalms (Pss. 92, 99, 62-66, Benedicite & 148-49-150) are sung. After the collect of the Sunday the Suffrages of the BVM Sancta Maria succurre etc, the Apostles Gloriosi principes etc, of the Patron and lastly for peace Da pacem Domine etc are sung.

At Prime (Pss. 117, 118i & 118ii) Quicumque is sung as are the Dominical preces.

Mass is sung after Terce. The Gloria is sung, the second collect is A cunctis, the third collect is chosen by the Dean or Rector. The Credo is sung, the Common Preface is sung.

Vespers are of the Sunday (Pss. 109, 110, 111, 112 & 113). After the collect of the Sunday a commemoration of the following feast of St. Margaret is sung. This is followed by the Suffrages of the BVM Sancta Maria succurre etc, the Apostles Petrus Apostolus etc, of the Patron and, lastly, for peace Da pacem Domine etc. At Compline the Dominical preces are sung.

The Tridentine Rite

This blog seeks to widen knowledge of the 1568 edition of the Breviary and the 1570 edition of the Missal published in the pontificate of Pius V.

As so much can be found on the internet putatively about the 'Tridentine' rite, 'Missal of St. Pius V' etc it seems appropriate to blog something actually about the rite found in these editions of the liturgical books and to give an impression of what it would have been like today if it had not undergone so many revisions over the next four centuries.
